His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the readers surprise.1Whats the right order of the following things about O. Henry?a. lived in New Yorkb. worked in a bankc. travelled to Texasd. was put in prisone. had a newspaper jobf. learned to write storiesA. e, c, f, b, d, a B. c, e, b, d, f, a C. e, b, d, c, a, f D. c, b, e, d, a, f2People enjoyed reading O.

His life inside the prison.B. The newspaper articles he wrote.C. The city and poor people of New York.D. His exciting early life as a boy.BHabits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, and then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unluckily older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.5_are formed little by little.A. Good habitsB. Bad habitsC. Both good habits and bad habitsD. Either good habits or bad habits6The underlined word them in the first paragraph refers to _.A. bad habitsB. good habitsC. bad childrenD. other persons7Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?A. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.B. Because we are forced to do them again and again.C. Because habits are of great help to every one of us at present.D. Because its hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.8According to the passage, early rising_.A. has something to do with successB.is an easily formed habitC.is such a habit as should have been avoidedD.is such a habit as wont be keptCRecently, a study on thousands of fat men and women showed that more than one in three were perfectly healthy or had only slight health problems. Scientists have pointed that it may be better to stay fat than go on a diet after diet.Many people think that one has to be thin to keep fit. However, fat people are no more likely to die at any given time than those of ideal weight. Indeed, they are less likely to be killed by heart disease. They are also in better health than those who have fought a constant battle with their weight by repeatedly dieting.Researchers say there is more to good health than how much a person weighs, and that many people who are overweight are fine as they are. Repeated dieting can do more harm than good to their health. So, rather than try to lose the extra pounds, they should simply concentrate on not putting on any more weight.The advice comes from the researchers at Torontos York University who surveyed the health of more than 6,000 fat men and women for an average of 16 years. They accepted medical and physical tests and their results were compared with those of thousands of people of normal weight. It clearly showed that being slim wasnt always better, according to the journal Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism.Those who are overweight may be healthier as they may exercise more and eat better than thin people who try to diet And a stressed-out, stationary(久坐不动的)person of normal weight may be in worse shape than a fat person who exercises and keeps stress levels under control.The Canadian researchers said that doctors should look at overall health rather than just use body mass index, a measure of weight compared to height, to judge whether a person needs to lose weight.A previous study found that retired old people who were slightly overweight lived longer than those of normal weight.Australian researchers said a bit of extra fat might give people the reserves needed to recover from illnesses. It is also possible that concern about the health of the overweight means that problems are found and treated earlier.9Which of the following is TRUE about the recent study?A. It surveyed both fat and slim people.B. It concerned thousands of fat men and women.C. It carried out some mental and physical tests.D. It proved that we should try to put on weight.10According to the passage, overweight people are less likely to die from_.A. heart diseaseB. repeated dietingC. too much stressD. high blood pressure11The advice from Canadian researchers is probably most encouraging for_.A. those who are suffering from diseaseB. those who are in good healthC. those who have retired for yearsD. those who are going on a diet12The underlined word reserves in the last paragraph probably means _”.A.保护区B.维修C.储备D.值得DChildrens lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?Its difficult to look back on ones own childhood without some element of nostalgia (怀旧的).I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them. Playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents hardly appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe (严重的) blame after some particularly risky adventure.These days, in the UK at least, the nature(本质，本性) of childhood has changed greatly. Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isnt time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, todays boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. More than anything, this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldnt dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play are totally different. Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony (令人啼笑皆非的事情)is that so many ways of playing games are called interactive. The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.13Which is a reason for the changes?A. Families are bigger today.B. Its too dangerous to play outside.C. Children play more interactive games.D. Parents worried too much about their children.14What does the writer focus on in the fourth paragraph?A. Young people today shouldnt play electronic games.B. Computer and video games have replaced the board games.C. Some games that young people play today arent really good.D. Board games are much more interesting than computer games.15The writers attitude towards the childhood changing is_.A. approving B. objective C. unconcerned D. optimistic第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Five steps to better handwritingSome kids love handwriting, but others hate when its time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 16Here are five steps that really work!Get a great graspTry this hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 17Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食指) and middle fingers.Let the lines be your guideLined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡). 18Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.Slow down If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, its hard to control where you stop and start your letters.Lower the pressure (压力)19That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and dont hold the pencil too tightly.20Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though its not schoolwork, youre still using the skills you need to control your pen better. A. Ask for more advice B. Play gamesC. Youve been writing since you were a little kid.D. Some kids press down really hard when they write. E. So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”. F. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb. G. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting. 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共三节，满分 50）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Recently divorced and unemployed, I was on my way downtown to do the rounds of the employment offices.

Things are usually out of our expectation. Apart from the benefits 42have been mentioned enough, small families are now beginning to have 43own problems. Because parents are having fewer children, they increasingly feel the need 44(control) the lives of those children. As a result, many children are becoming less 45(depend), determined and ambitious than in the past.Parents today discourage their children from doing housework, extracurricular(课外的) activities and socializing 46they fear it will interrupt their education.
